The one above the Stevens is an Enfield. Might be a Jungle Carbine version.
The one above that one is another Enfield, I think. Might be a Pattern 14.

...otherwise....

Micro Roni G4 + Gen 4 Glock 19:

View attachment 596678 View attachment 596676

I recently got Micro Roni kit for Glock on sale for $150 on Botach. Since I decided to get out of .300 Blackout I started to get into, I took the EOTech & MBUS(Magpul backup sights) off of the Bushmaster Blackout upper, installed them on Micro Roni. I was digging the way it looked, liked how it shot, but it did this 3, 4 times:

Since my Glock's been flawless before/after Micro Roni, I thought maybe its charging handle caused friction, maybe I was holding the stock funny when I shot.... I showed my coworker this photo today & I think he nailed it: It's hitting the bottom of the EOTech & bouncing back into the ejection port. I come home, inspect the thing & sure enough, you can see the marks where cases were hitting 5/8" of EOTech sticking right over the port(sight's really wide for this gun). I'm going to clear path of the port for next time & see how it goes. God, I'm so stupid.

Yep that big EOTECH.
hanging over the side .
Is probably the problem.

I don't ignore the risks - I am well aware of them - but in my experience NDs are usually due to stupidity, not equipment.

Maybe you see more injuries with Glocks because they are an extremely common and popular pistol?

There are a LOT of other pistols out there that closely copy the trigger and firing mechanism of Glocks.

Correlation does not equal causation.

YMMV.

My experience is what it is. I will not carry a pistol with out a positive safety.

Top rifle looks like a 1888 ( w/ Ramrod Bayonet ) model of the 1873 Trapdoor Springfield rifle...
Second from top looks like a "Sporter" made carbine of the 1873 Trapdoor rifle series...
Third from top looks like a 1917 "Enfield" the red and white stripe indicate .30-06 while in use in England...
Fourth from top looks like a "Sporter" made Enfield No4 rifle...
Bottom rifle looks like a older Marlin , Mossberg or Maybe Remington .22 tube fed rifle...

Just guesses here...
Andy
Edit to add :
So much for my guesses here..I see that the bottom rifle has been seen to be a Stevens...well I never claimed to be an expert of anything...LOL

Sorry about that Andy. When I made that post, I thought the top two were muzzle loaders.
It wasn't until Later I noticed they were trapdoors
...and speaking of those guns...
Wouldn't the carbine be a Calvaryman's rifle?...of course, Teflon never said they had US Army markings on them.....hmmm....never mind. ( )

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Wouldn't the carbine be a Calvaryman's rifle?

That particular "Carbine" is a cut down rifle...note the after market civilian sights , both front and rear...
It was re-worked as a "Carbine" more than likely in the 1940's-60's ...when the Trapdoors were cheap to be had and commonly found...

The top gun is some iteration of a trapdoor Springfield. The next one down is a sport arise version of a trapdoor Springfield. Below that is either a P 14 or a 1917 Enfield in a drill purpose stock. Below that is a sporterized Enfield (looks like a no. 4, but can't be sure).

Values are all over the place. A lot depends on conditions, which are best evaluated in person. If the Enfield is a drill rifle, that hurts the value of the collection.

ADDED: The red and white band on the Enfield stock indicates a drill purpose stock. You can also see the circular cutout just in front of the receiver where the demilled the barrel.
The lend lease rifles had just a red band, I believe...

I didn't have anything to do today.
So I finished up my sister's gun.

Ah, yes. I see it now.

Well, I figured he could just pick up The White Courtesy Phone and talk to Teflon about it, but a note that he's been mentioned in a post at a firearms forum works too.

Picked this one up recently at Oregon Arms Collectors monthly collector gun show. It's a pretty decent old Remington Rolling Block #1 Sporting Rifle. It started life as a mundane .38 Long, but I'd guess the bore was bad form too much BP ammo, and somebody relined it to .357" liner and chambered it to .38 Special. A much better caliber for my use, and no heeled bullets to mess with for reloading!
Should be a fun plinker, and in a few weeks I'll take it along to our annual long range shoot and see how far I can stretch it out! I added a vernier tang sight, and Beach Combination front sight to it for more accurate shooting.

I swear I saw you when you were haggling with the guy that had that rifle. I was kinda looking over your shoulder and listening in a bit. Didn't want to stand and stare too long and appear creepy. I've got a thing for those Remington rolling blocks. I have one that's a non shooter that some have suggested I should look into getting something done it.

Trusticles, I'd rather be here pimping you guys for info about some old guns I might try to acquire. But, alas, I'm ripping out carpet and liner so I can seal and paint walls throughout my entire upper story, probably 1500 sg ft. Then I get to install hardwood floor that visibly lines up in 6 rooms on a long hall.

I think the thing I hate worst about getting old is sweat dripping, pooling and running inside the lenses of my glasses. Don't get old, kids, it's a trap!

I know NOTHING about the "Springers," except that condition is crucial, prices are all over, clones exist, and some are worth a LOT more than others. I don't see any engraving on these where the sweet ones on the Internet say "Springfield, etc."

I'm guessing by the numbers and stripes painted on #s 3 & 4 that they were some sort of military training pieces, picked up daily, roundly abused by thousands, maybe cleaned (perhaps a lot) and turned back in. If I go back to see them, I'll take some very specific pics.

It's OK @EPS yours can be a black widow too..
Maybe AR pistols with red accents should all be called black widow builds... makes since to me
I get credit for being the first though

Well I decided I will call mine RED DAWN.
LOL well I will call it that but my friends and family will let me know if they like it or not I'M SURE.

 

[EPS]

You know only crazy people name their guns right?
I originally called it the black widow build... then picked up "Scarlett" color RIT dye to color my Pmags to match... Scarlett Johansson is top of my Celebrity Cheat list( wife's are mostly WWE guys) and she plays the Black Widow in the Avenger Films...So Scarlett became her name for multiple reasons... but it always was/is the Black Widow build

Lol all my guns have names .
I guess I'm crazy

That's why we love ya

Don't get old, kids, it's a trap!

A trap you can't escape. One we all fall into sooner or later.

It beats the only alternative.

The last sentence seems reasonable on its face. I disagree, I plan, and hope, to be able to end it before I can't. Death is inevitable. The degree of suffering is the variable.
